Collimator.......

Posted By Joe Bruessow

I really like the holographic collimators... they make aligning the secondary under the focuser as well as a non-center spotted primary a whole lot easier. Given a choice, I'd get a holographic. I'd recommend finding a club member with one and giving it a try.

BTW... the Glatters are very nice. They seem more "industrial/ solidly built" than the Kendrick's...

Don't know if this helps smile

Hi Brian...

Looks like something that a "Bias" or "Flat Field" image should correct... I am sure the experts will chime in here soon...

Here is one I worked a little from earlier in the month... ST2000XM... 3 hrs lum (2x2), needs more color data (30 min each RGB 3x3). No flat field... light box is my next project shocked)

Opinions on longer focal length astrograph

Posted By Joe Bruessow

Thanks for the replies smile I am curious about anybody using a well corrected premium Newtonian for imaging (paracorr, etc)... perhaps a 10" f/5 to f/6?

Thanks!
